    Help with A-Maze-N Smoker

    I am working on the same problem with my new MES. Am I looking for an actual flame or just a red burning pit? Thanks for the help

    first pork butt

    Well I put my first pork butt in the smoker the other night and 22 hours later, WOW. It was a 6 pound boneless butt. I rubbed with a light coat of mustard and some Butt Rub. Took a few hours longer than I expected but the family really liked it. It could have used a little more smoke though, so...

    2012 MES 40 vs. Old Model MES 40

    Thanks Todd, I have one coming and am excited to try it out.  not sure what I am going to try first though. Maybe another pork roast, the last one tasted like the lit end of a cigar. I would like to redeem myself to the wife and kids

    2012 MES 40 vs. Old Model MES 40

    So I am new to the smoking scene but am wondering where you are placing the 5X8 inside the new MES 40 during the smoking process. I am thinking about buying one after all I have read in the posts about them but I don't know what to do with it when I get it. Thanks for the help,

    New MES 40

    So quick question on the Maverick ET-732. Do you run the probe into the smoker through the vent or you poking a hole into the smoker?  Thanks for the time walking through the basics.

    New MES 40

    Thank you to the both of you. I was wondering what would be best to use in place of the original thermometer. Well my first try did not turn out very good today. My mouth feels like I just smoked a cigar . Oh well I had vent open only about 1/3 of the way and had smoke going the whole time. Next...

    New MES 40

    I just got a new MES 40 for Christmas. I am currently in the middle of smoking a pork roast. This seems to be a great smoker, how cool is the remote control. My meat probe seems to be reading about 20 deg. high but I think I must not have it in fully. Just using my old temp gauge to keep from...
